Google Jules Pricing: Cost, Usage Limits and Plans for the Jules AI Coding Agent
Jules has no price of its own. It rides on a Google AI consumer subscription, and that subscription is only sold to personal gmail accounts, which is the detail that decides this for most US engineering teams before the task limits ever matter.

The short answer
Google Jules has no price of its own. The free tier costs nothing and allows 15 tasks per rolling 24 hours with 3 running at once on Gemini 2.5 Pro, and the paid tiers are a benefit of a Google AI subscription: Pro at about $19.99 a month raises that to 100 daily tasks and 15 concurrent, Ultra at $100 or $200 raises it to 300 and 60. The catch that decides it for most US teams is in Google's own limits doc: paid Jules plans are only available on individual Google Accounts ending in @gmail.com, so a company Workspace account cannot upgrade at all.
Google Jules pricing, tier by tier
There is no Jules plan to buy. What you buy is a Google AI subscription, and Jules limits move with it. Task and concurrency numbers below are copied from Google's own limits page. The model column matters more than it looks, because the free tier is a generation behind the paid ones.

| Plan | Price | Daily tasks | Concurrent | Model access | What it really means |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jules (free) | $0 | 15 per rolling 24h | 3 | Gemini 2.5 Pro | The only tier a Google Workspace account can use. Google positions it as "evaluating Jules on real work", but for a company-domain login it is the ceiling, not the trial. |
| Jules in Pro | $19.99 / mo | 100 per rolling 24h | 15 | Higher access to the latest model, starting with Gemini 3 Pro | Included with Google AI Pro. Requires a personal @gmail.com account. Roughly 6.7x the free task allowance for the price of one Cursor seat. |
| Jules in Ultra ($100) | $100 / mo | 300 per rolling 24h | 60 | Priority access to the latest model | Included with Google AI Ultra. Triples the Pro allowance for five times the price, so the price per task rises, not falls. |
| Jules in Ultra ($200) | $200 / mo | 300 per rolling 24h | 60 | Priority access to the latest model | ‼️ Identical Jules numbers to the $100 Ultra. The 4x multiplier Google advertises on this tier applies to Gemini usage; Jules publishes one Ultra column and it does not move. |
Task counts, concurrency and model access are Google's, from the Jules limits page, September 2026. The dollar figures are the reported US prices of the Google AI plans; Google does not print them in the Jules docs and its plan grid does not render to a plain fetch. Treat the prices as market-reported and the limits as documented.
Read the last two rows together, because that is where the money is. Google has sold Ultra at two prices since May 2026, $100 and $200, and the $200 option advertises four times the usage limits of the $100 one. Jules publishes a single Ultra column. Three hundred daily tasks, sixty concurrent, on both. Nothing in Google's Jules documentation says that multiplier reaches Jules, and there is no second Ultra row for it to reach. On the published numbers, the extra $100 a month doubles what a Jules task costs you and buys no additional Jules capacity at all. If Jules is the reason you are looking at Ultra, buy the $100 tier.
Can a business buy Google Jules? Not today
This is the single most important line in Google's Jules documentation and it appears in none of the pricing round-ups currently ranking for this query. Google's limits page states that paid Jules plans are accessed through a Google AI Plans subscription, "currently available only for individual Google Accounts (ending in @gmail.com)". Business power users who need more access are pointed at an interest form rather than a checkout.
Work through what that means for a US company. Your developers sign in to everything with an address on your own domain, managed in Google Workspace. Those accounts can use Jules, but they cannot upgrade it. So the free tier is not an evaluation step on the way to a paid rollout, it is the permanent ceiling: fifteen tasks per rolling twenty four hours, three at a time, on Gemini 2.5 Pro rather than the current model. The only way around it is to have engineers run company code through personal gmail accounts, which is a conversation most security teams end quickly.
Google says it is working on upgrade paths for other user types, and that is believable. But procurement decisions get made against what is purchasable this quarter, and right now a Jules licence cannot be issued to a company. It is worth comparing with how the same question resolves elsewhere: Copilot Business sells seats to organizations at $19 each, and ChatGPT Business does the same, as our Codex CLI pricing breakdown sets out. Google's other coding agent is in a similar position for slightly different reasons, which we cover on Google Antigravity.
What the free tier actually restricts
Swipe to see more
| Restriction | On the free tier | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Who can upgrade | Personal @gmail.com accounts only | Google states paid plans run through Google AI Plans, "currently available only for individual Google Accounts (ending in @gmail.com)". Workspace and enterprise accounts are directed to an interest form instead. |
| Model generation | Gemini 2.5 Pro | Paid tiers get the latest model, starting with Gemini 3 Pro. The free tier is a generation behind, which shows up on long refactors before it shows up on small fixes. |
| How the window resets | Rolling 24 hours | Not a calendar day. Fifteen tasks at 4pm Tuesday means you are clear again from 4pm Wednesday, task by task, rather than at midnight. |
| Family plan pooling | None | Google confirms task limits are not shared or pooled across a shared Google One family plan. Each member is treated as an individual user, which also means a family plan cannot be used to seat a team. |
| Age requirement | 18 or older | Jules has a stricter age requirement than some Google One plans, so a Google One member under 18 can hold an active plan and still have no Jules access. |
| What happens at the limit | New tasks blocked, existing work readable | The new task button is disabled and a tooltip explains why. You keep access to task history, existing diffs and feedback. Nothing is lost, you simply stop. |
What one Jules task actually costs
Google publishes no per-task price, no token rate card and no overage rate for Jules, so the only way to compare tiers is to divide the subscription by the tasks it allows. The ceiling column assumes you use every task Google gives you, thirty days a month, which nobody does. The realistic column assumes 87 tasks a month, which is roughly four a working day. That assumption is ours and you should argue with it; the task counts underneath it are Google's.
Swipe to see more
| Plan | Monthly price | Task ceiling | Cost per task at the ceiling | Cost per task at 87/mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jules (free) | $0 | up to 450 tasks / mo | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Jules in Pro | $19.99 | up to 3,000 tasks / mo | $0.007 | $0.23 |
| Jules in Ultra ($100) | $100 | up to 9,000 tasks / mo | $0.011 | $1.15 |
| Jules in Ultra ($200) | $200 | up to 9,000 tasks / mo | $0.022 | $2.30 |
The uncomfortable conclusion for Google is in the first row. At four tasks a working day, the free tier already covers you with room to spare, and it costs nothing. A very large share of the people currently searching for Jules pricing do not need to pay Google anything, and the honest answer to "how much does Jules cost" is usually zero. That is worth saying even though it is not what a vendor page is supposed to say.
Where the arithmetic turns is at volume, and there it turns the wrong way. Going from Pro to the $100 Ultra triples your tasks for five times the money, so the price per task rises by about two thirds. Going from the $100 Ultra to the $200 one changes nothing about Jules and doubles the cost per task. Task-based metering is genuinely easier to reason about than credits or five-hour message windows, which is a real point in Jules' favor, and we say the same in our side-by-side comparison of what every AI coding tool costs. The problem is not the meter. It is who the meter is sold to.
How Google Jules works, and what it refuses to do
Six things worth knowing before you connect a repository, all from Google's own documentation rather than from a review. Two of them will rule Jules out for some teams in under a minute, which is a good outcome when the alternative is finding out in week three.
Where does the code run?
In a fresh, short-lived Ubuntu virtual machine with internet access. Jules clones the repository, installs dependencies and works there, so nothing executes on your laptop. Google is explicit that you should treat it like any shared compute surface: do not commit secrets, and be careful with third-party packages, because the agent reads and acts on non-code files in the repo as well as code.
What is preinstalled on the VM?
Node 22.16.0 with nvm, npm, yarn and pnpm, Python 3.12.11 with pip, poetry, uv, pytest, black, mypy and ruff, OpenJDK 21, Go, Rust, Bun and chromedriver. For simple projects Jules infers the setup from the repository and from an agents.md or readme.md file; for anything unusual you supply a setup script.
What can a setup script not do?
Long-running processes. Google states plainly that dev servers and watch scripts such as npm run dev are not supported in setup scripts, so anything that expects a live server alongside the tests has to be restructured into discrete install and test commands before Jules is useful on it.
How does work get back to you?
Jules writes a branch, and you push it. You are the branch owner, Jules is recorded as the commit author, and you open the pull request yourself from that branch. It is one manual step further from a merge than agents that open the PR directly, which some review processes prefer and some find tedious.
Can it pick up work automatically?
Yes, from GitHub issues. Add the label "jules" to an issue, case insensitive, with the Jules GitHub app authorized on that repo, and Jules comments on the issue and links the pull request when it finishes. There are also scheduled tasks for routine maintenance.
Does Google train on your code?
Not on private repositories. Google states that Jules does not train on private repository content and calls privacy a core principle of the product. That is a stronger statement than several rivals make on their default consumer tiers.
One more constraint deserves its own sentence, because it is not in the plan table and it is not negotiable. Google's docs say Jules can only access repositories you explicitly allow through GitHub, and that support for more version control systems is coming in the future. If your code is in GitLab, Jules is not on your shortlist yet, no matter what the pricing says.
Google Jules against the other agents that write a pull request
Jules belongs to a small category. Most AI coding tools sit in your editor and help you type; these four take a described task and come back with a diff. Prices and limits are each vendor's own published figures, read September 2026. We are the last column, and we have put the rows where we lose in the same table as the rows where we win.

| Google Jules | OpenAI Codex | Copilot coding agent | Agentcode | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cheapest way in | Free, 15 tasks a day | Included with ChatGPT Free | Copilot Free, limited | $29/mo flat, billed yearly |
| Can a company account buy the paid tier? | ‼️ No. Personal @gmail.com only | Yes, ChatGPT Business | Yes, Business at $19/seat | Yes |
| What the meter counts | Whole tasks, rolling 24h | Messages, rolling 5h window | AI credits, 1 credit = $0.01 | Nothing. Flat |
| Where the work happens | Google cloud VM | Your terminal, or Codex cloud | GitHub Actions runner | Our runner, against your repo |
| Who opens the pull request | You, from the branch it wrote | You, or Codex cloud | Copilot, as a draft PR | We open it, you review it |
| Repository hosts | ‼️ GitHub only | Local, GitHub | GitHub only | GitHub and GitLab |
| Stated training on private code | No, on private repos | No on Business by default | No on Business and Enterprise | No |
| Product status | Public beta | Generally available | Generally available | Generally available |
The row that decides most evaluations is the second one. Three of these four will sell a licence to a company; Jules will not, yet. After that it comes down to where your code lives and how you want the work to arrive. If you want the Codex side taken apart properly we do it on Codex against GitHub Copilot, and the GitHub agent's own meter is broken down on GitHub Copilot agent pricing. For the wider field, the AI coding tools worth shortlisting covers it honestly, including where we lose.
The fine print Jules buyers find out later
Every one of these is in Google's own documentation and almost none of them are in the reviews. At least three will change whether Jules fits your team.
- Paid plans are gated to personal @gmail.com accounts. There is no Workspace checkout, only an interest form for business power users.
- Task limits are never pooled. Google confirms a shared Google One family plan gives each member their own limits, so it cannot be used to seat a team cheaply.
- Jules has an 18+ age requirement that is stricter than some Google One plans, so an active plan does not guarantee access for every member.
- The daily allowance is a rolling 24 hour window, not a midnight reset, so capacity comes back task by task through the following day.
- Long-running commands such as npm run dev are not supported in setup scripts. Discrete install and test commands only.
- Images can only be attached when a task is created, not in follow-up prompts, PNG or JPEG, under 5MB in total.
- Failed tasks retry automatically, and are only marked failed after that. The usual causes Google names are broken setup scripts and vague prompts.
- You can pause a task mid-run and send feedback while it works, and it will replan rather than finish the wrong thing.
- A "jules" label on a GitHub issue, case insensitive, is enough to start a task, provided the Jules GitHub app has access to that repo.
- Jules Tools, the CLI, installs with npm install -g @google/jules and authenticates with jules login.
- There is a REST API at jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha authenticated with an x-goog-api-key header and a key from the Jules settings page.
- Google publishes no per-task price, no token rate card and no overage rate. When you run out of tasks you wait; you cannot buy more.
Which Jules plan should you actually buy?
A solo developer on a personal gmail
Use the free tier and probably never pay. Fifteen tasks a rolling 24 hours is more than most individuals dispatch in a week, and the free tier is the same product with an older model. Upgrade to Pro when you are genuinely hitting the wall, not before.
A heavy individual user hitting the wall
Google AI Pro at about $19.99 is the only sensible upgrade. It is 6.7x the tasks and 5x the concurrency for the price of one Cursor seat, and it moves you onto the current model. Skip Ultra unless you are genuinely dispatching more than 100 tasks a day.
Anyone considering the $200 Ultra tier for Jules
Do not buy it for Jules. Google publishes one Ultra row for Jules, 300 tasks and 60 concurrent, and the $100 tier already has it. The extra $100 a month buys Gemini headroom and Project Genie, not Jules headroom. Buy it for the other things or not at all.
A US team on Google Workspace
You cannot buy Jules today. Google routes business accounts to an interest form rather than a checkout, so your real choice is the free tier under personal accounts, which most security teams will refuse, or a tool that sells to companies. This is the reason most teams evaluating Jules end up somewhere else.
A team that needs GitLab
Jules is not an option today. Google's own docs say Jules can only reach repositories allowed through GitHub, with other version control systems promised for the future. If your code lives in GitLab, this decision is already made for you.
A team that wants spend to be predictable
Task counts are easier to reason about than credits or five-hour message windows, and that is a genuine point in Jules' favor. The problem is not the meter, it is that the meter you want is only sold to a personal account.
Where we fit, and where Jules beats us
The losses first, because there are real ones. Jules is free at a level most individuals never exhaust, it is backed by Google's models and Google's infrastructure, its VM comes with a serious toolchain already installed, and starting a task by putting a label on a GitHub issue is a genuinely good piece of design. If you are one developer with a personal account and a GitHub repo, Jules costs nothing and you should just use it. We are not going to pretend otherwise to sell you a subscription.
Agentcode exists for the case Jules currently cannot serve: a company that wants to buy this. You connect a GitHub or GitLab repository, describe a task, and the agent plans it, edits the code, runs your test suite and opens a pull request for a human to read. It never merges on its own, so your branch protection rules and your reviewers stay exactly where they are. The licence belongs to the company, not to somebody's personal email address.
It costs $29 a month, flat, billed yearly. No daily task ceiling to plan a sprint around, no rolling window to wait out, and no consumer bundle attached to the invoice. That is a narrower product than Google's and we would rather say so. If you are building a shortlist, every AI coding tool priced side by side and how our agent actually runs a task are the next two pages to read.
Google Jules: the questions people actually search
Is Google Jules free?
Yes, there is a free tier and it needs no card. It allows 15 tasks per rolling 24 hours, 3 running at once, on Gemini 2.5 Pro. Paid tiers arrive through a Google AI subscription rather than a Jules subscription, and they raise the task limits rather than unlocking features.
How much does Google Jules cost?
Jules itself has no price. You pay for a Google AI plan and Jules limits rise with it: roughly $19.99 a month for Pro, which allows 100 daily tasks and 15 concurrent, or $100 and $200 for the two Ultra tiers, which both allow 300 daily tasks and 60 concurrent.
Can a business buy Google Jules?
Not a paid plan, as of September 2026. Google states paid Jules plans are accessed through Google AI Plans, "currently available only for individual Google Accounts (ending in @gmail.com)". Workspace and enterprise accounts have no upgrade path and are pointed at an interest form for business power users.
Does Google Jules use Gemini 3?
On the paid tiers, yes. Google lists Gemini 2.5 Pro for the free plan, higher access to the latest model starting with Gemini 3 Pro for Jules in Pro, and priority access to the latest model for Jules in Ultra. The free tier sits a model generation behind.
What are the Google Jules usage limits?
Fifteen tasks per rolling 24 hours and 3 concurrent on the free tier, 100 and 15 on Pro, 300 and 60 on Ultra. The window rolls rather than resetting at midnight. When you hit it, new tasks are blocked but existing tasks, diffs and history stay readable.
Is Google AI Ultra worth it for Jules?
Only the $100 tier, and only above 100 tasks a day. Google publishes a single Jules in Ultra column, 300 tasks and 60 concurrent, so the $200 Ultra tier buys no extra Jules capacity on the published numbers. It doubles your cost per Jules task for headroom elsewhere in Gemini.
Does Google Jules work with GitLab?
No. Google states that Jules can only access repositories you explicitly allow through GitHub, and that it will work with more version control systems in the future. Access is managed through the Google Labs Jules app in your GitHub settings. Teams hosting on GitLab need a different agent.
Does Google Jules open the pull request for you?
Not quite. Jules writes changes on a branch and you click to create it, then open the PR yourself in GitHub. You are the branch owner and Jules is recorded as the commit author. Started from a labelled GitHub issue, it will comment with a link to the resulting pull request.
Does Google train on code Jules sees?
Not on private repositories. Google states that Jules does not train on private repository content. Code still executes in a Google-operated cloud VM with internet access, so the usual advice applies: keep secrets out of the repository and review third-party packages before Jules runs them.
Is Google Jules still in beta?
Google's own FAQ describes Jules as being in Public Beta as of September 2026, and its limits page says features and limits may be adjusted as Google learns how the product is used. Plan for the numbers on this page to move, and check the date stamp before quoting them.
